Answer:

<em>The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Components of the displacement</u>

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

$x=r\cos\theta$

The vertical component is calculated by:

$y=r\sin\theta$

The hiker has a displacement with magnitude r = 20.51 m at an angle of 33.16 degrees. Substituting in the above equation:

$y=20.51\sin(33.16^\circ)$

$y=11.22\ m$

The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters

An electron has a constant acceleration of +3.3 m/s2. at a certain instant its velocity is +8.6 m/s. what is its velocity (a) 2.

Citrus2011 [14]

Hello!

The velocity function is:

$\mathsf{V = V_0 + at}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.6 +3.3t}$

a) 2.3 s earlier, we can make t = -2.3 s, in relation to our initial time:

$\mathsf{V = 8.6 + 3.3\cdot(-2.3)}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.8-7.59}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 1.21 \ m/s}}$

b) Now we can make t = 2.3 s:

$\mathsf{V = 8.6 + 3.3\cdot2.3}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.6 + 7.59}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 15.59 \ m/s}}$

What is the mirror formula for curved mirrors

Reika [66]

The mirror formula for curved mirrors is:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
where
f is the focal length of the mirror
$d_o$ is the distance of the object from the mirror
$d_i$ is the distance of the image from the mirror

The sign convention that should be used in order to find the correct values is the following:
- $f$ : positive if the mirror is concave, negative if the mirror is convex
- $d_i$ : positive if the image is real (located on the same side of the object), negative if it is virtual (located on the opposite side of the mirror)

Help Plsss

sattari [20]

On the Newtonian theory of gravity, gravitation affects anything with mass. Assuming that none of the answer choices is the only thing that exists in the universe, all of the answer choices are subject to the law of universal gravitation (hence “universal”).

Satellites, water, frogs, and stars all have mass as they are all composed of matter. Thus, all four answer choices should be circled.
